Wow, someone who's been to HK! I was born and raised there before moving to USA. Met my hubby in Wanchai 24 years ago (it's a business district now, with a much nicer reputation).Originally Posted by Vypyrz
Welcome to the Forum. HK is such a nice city. I spent too many nights in Wan Chai
Calvin, ball pythons need a warm section of 32-33 degrees Celsius (belly heat, on the bottom of the tank, not just the air inside) and a cool section of 27-28 degrees. August is hot in HK, but it will be too cold in winter without a heating mat. Use a proper reptile heating mat to bring the warm temperature up to 32-33 degrees.
Also, ball pythons need to hide. Seeing humans all the time WILL make them very afraid! They feel more safe, secure, and happy when hiding. A cheap bowl is OK, just cut out a door for your snake to go in and out.
How big is your small box? The snake needs a water bowl also, along with at least one hide. Two hides are better: One in the warm section and one in the cool section.
